TIFF red carpet diary, Day 1, Part 2: The Roberts touch down in Toronto as Duvall and Downey Jr. charm fans

After Wednesday night’s lacklustre opening galas, where barely any celebz™ were to be found, the Toronto International Film Festival officially got going the following night with premieres for The Judge, The Humbling and many more. Here are some of the stars who deigned to walk the same Earth as us mortals on Thursday at TIFF.

“What is to be done about ISIS,” wonders Kristen Bell on the red carpet for The Judge premiere. “Does America have an obligation to fight this extremist group, or was the lesson of the Iraq War that our military might cannot force change on the region? Even accepting that American firepower might defeat an extremist group such as ISIS, how do we know an even more intransigent organization won’t take its place? These are the defining questions of our time.”
